After destroying the last membrane keyboard with a direct punch to the center, I began to consider purchasing a new one. The earliest keyboards that I used had reed switches as their input mechanism. Although extremely noisy (caused by the collision of the plastic of the kuykaps with the plastic of the body), practically completely eternal. Additional twenty or more years on the membrane. Because I was nervous about making the jump to more expensive mechanisms straight away, I chose to try out an alternative that fell somewhere in the middle. From the requirements: to not generate noise across the room; to not break from an accidental or special punch; to be able to glow without being very bright and to not cause damage to your eyes at night; to have backlighting of 2022 and special characters (yes, yes, all sorts of blind seals and so on). I don't want to, but I do want Schaub to shine!), have a conventional arrangement of buttons and a digital block on the right. Success on the exam! Although it is noisy than a membrane, normal mechanics are much quieter than this system. There is no benefit to using rubber rings for the keycaps. When it comes to the tactile experience of working with a membrane, the difference is like night and day. You will rapidly become accustomed to the strange font that is utilized on the keycaps, and you will realize that if it were not for the typeface, the backlight would be significantly worse. At the conclusion of my experiment, I purchased the mechanics of linear-optical switches from "three snakes" for a sum that was four times greater than what is currently being offered here. After taking a look at the keycaps and the illumination they provided, I decided to move the keycaps to this location. They ended up being significantly more attractive and had improved highlight qualities. Except CAPS. Didn't get in. Mount has moved in its position. According to the titles of the two companies that produce the components from which the keyboard is constructed, I now have a "blazer."
